GRK Fasteners Launches New Metal Connector Screw
GRK Fasteners has launched its new GRK Metal Connector Screw, an ICC-ES-approved fastening solution designed for metal-to-wood structural applications.

Approved under ICC-ES ESR-2442, the GRK Metal Connector Screw provides an alternative to traditional connector fasteners, helping contractors increase installation efficiency while meeting stringent structural requirements.
The screw features GRK’s proven T-25 Star Drive design, which delivers improved bit engagement and torque transfer for faster, more consistent fastening.
“Star Drive technology is a major advantage for installers working with metal connector hardware in tight spaces,” said Andrew Gibson, senior product manager at GRK Fasteners. “Better bit fit means faster fastening, fewer dropped screws and less installer fatigue throughout the day. With ICC approval, contractors can trust they are meeting strict structural requirements while increasing productivity on the jobsite.”
Per design, the Star Drive recess provides six points of contact, nearly eliminating stripping, while the Fast Bite Tip provides immediate starts without pre-drilling.
The GRK Metal Connector Screws, available in a range of #9 and #10 diameters, as well as multiple lengths, are intended for use in joint hangers, post caps, post bases and other metal connector installations.
Packaging options include Handy Paks for smaller jobs and Pro Paks for higher-volume projects.
Gibson added that the introduction of the GRK Metal Connector Screw strengthens the company’s structural fastening lineup and reinforces GRK’s commitment to delivering solutions that maximise speed, precision and jobsite performance.
